Thanks NativeNewYorker.

a result of the Dodd-Frank Act

FDR called in all gold coins; the secret police didn't go kicking in doors. I wish my grandfather hadn't been so darned law-abiding, and just buried his $30 gold pieces under a flowerbed in the yard or something, but he also needed the money, I'm sure.

Not true. The banks were forced to open all safety deposit boxes with a US Treasury representative present.

IIRC my history, his "guys" also went around to banks and drilled safe deposit boxes or demanded to be present when folks opened their boxes and then they confiscated that gold.

Does this mean that if I want to buy silver bars or American eagles after July 15th from say GOLDLINE, I won't be able to do so? What about stuff like jewelry grade silver in wire or in sheets?

I wish the same of my great-grandfather.

This thing in the Dodd-Frank act I find confusing. Doesn't sound like it should legal though.
